It's like _The Big Short_ but... boring. The reason being, as the previous commenter has pointed out, that the movie failed to give the viewer any reason to care about what is happening, the script and the direction failed in giving the story a personal dimension, so it feels like you're being lectured for an hour and a half.

For those who want to see the movie, here's the context: the Panama Papers is one the biggest leaks that detailed how governments, movie and sport stars, companies worked with law firms to avoid pay taxes and make scam schemes. Having said that, the movie should be good right? But no...the movie itself is slow, boring and only watched entirely because of the (average?) perfomances of the main actors.

What a waste of time. Very disjointed. Impossible to follow dialog. Hit every one of liberal's "hate capitalism hot button" and of course had to include the former Islammunist In Chief. If you don't like laws which allow corporations to shield themselves from taxes you problem is with the law makers not the businesses.

Remember the Panama Papers? Those leaked documents that detailed how various people and companies created off-shore shell companies in order to avoid paying billions if not trillions in taxes around the world? No?

I’m not surprised. It was a huge story that seemed to become a flash in the pan a More

I didn't enjoy this at all, yet I still weirdly reflect on it to be better than it had any right to be.

That's thanks to the cast of 'The Laundromat'. Meryl Streep (Ellen), Gary Oldman (Mossack) and Antonio Banderas (Fonseca) are the main reasons I'm not rating this lower. They stop it b More
